It won't matter until it does, but $@ expands arguments into separate words but those expansions are themselves only word-preserved if the $@ is itself quoted. The [ will probably get away with what you want, but its use in $(git add) and $(git last-sha) almost certainly will not

  $ cat > tmp.sh <<'FOO'
  for a in $@;   do echo "a=$a"; done
  echo
  for b in "$@"; do echo "b=$b"; done
  echo
  for c in $*;   do echo "c=$c"; done
  echo
  for d in "$*"; do echo "d=$d"; done
  echo
  FOO

  $ bash tmp.sh 'alpha beta' $'charlie\ndelta'
  a=alpha
  a=beta
  a=charlie
  a=delta

  b=alpha beta
  b=charlie
  delta

  c=alpha
  c=beta
  c=charlie
  c=delta

  d=alpha beta charlie
  delta

Yeah, you're probably right. I guess I haven't run it on any files with spaces in the 6 years since I added it to my dotfiles.
